Week 5.

Time is slowing down. Work load is increasing. Urge to kill is rising.

Having navigated the first weeks of the Semester with relative ease, it has now managed to sink its metaphorical teeth in and bite down, hard, on any glimmer of hope that I had about the course being that easy the whole way through. However I find myself oddly excited by the idea of the work that lies in from of me; this may be due to the engagement I have with the course.

Project Brief 3 has been unleashed & in this weeks lecture, Brian has addressed the best ways to prepare for this task at hand & the best ways to perceive the creative process.

Rather than having ourselves as the puppeteers of the whole project, Brian urges us to think of ourselves as a part of a nonhuman collaboration with the mediums. As part of a greater working at hand.

This notion is an interesting one and does seem to hold some compelling arguments on its side, however, in regards to the controlled environment of the media piece I wish to capture, I feel that there is more of a dictatorship occurring than a nonhuman collaboration. I am open to see what unfolds though.
